❤️ Tej Pratap Yadav Goes Public About 12-Year Relationship With Anushka Yadav

Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, has stirred political and social circles with a surprise revelation about his personal life. The former Bihar minister took to social media to officially announce his relationship with Anushka Yadav—a woman he claims to have been in love with for over 12 years.

Although the post was later deleted, it created a storm online. In the post, Tej Pratap wrote:

“I, Tej Pratap Yadav, and the woman in this picture is Anushka Yadav. We’ve known and loved each other for the past 12 years. I wanted to share this with you for a long time but didn’t know how. Today, I’m opening my heart to you all through this post. I hope you’ll understand.”

🌟 Who is Anushka Yadav?

After the post, the internet was buzzing with one question: Who is Anushka Yadav?

Anushka hails from Bihar and has political links through her family. Her brother, Akash Yadav, was once associated with the youth wing of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). It is during those early days of political camaraderie that Anushka and Tej Pratap reportedly came close.

Currently, Akash Yadav is associated with Pashupati Kumar Paras’s party, and he serves as the national youth president. Their father, Manoj Yadav, resides with the family in the Langartoli area of Patna.

💔 Why Tej Pratap Yadav Can’t Marry Anushka Yet

Despite their deep connection, marriage is not an option for Tej Pratap and Anushka at the moment—and the reason is legal.

Tej Pratap is still legally married to Aishwarya Rai, the granddaughter of former Bihar CM Daroga Rai and daughter of senior leader Chandrika Rai. Although the couple has been estranged since shortly after their 2018 wedding, the divorce proceedings are still ongoing as of 2025.

According to the Hindu Marriage Act, both parties must be unmarried at the time of marriage. Engaging in a second marriage without a finalized divorce constitutes bigamy, which is a punishable offense under Section 494 of the IPC. It can lead to up to 7 years of imprisonment and a fine.

📌 Conclusion

While Tej Pratap Yadav’s emotional post has offered a rare glimpse into his personal life, it also highlights the legal complexities he faces. Until his divorce with Aishwarya Rai is legally finalized, he cannot marry Anushka Yadav without risking criminal charges.

This love story remains incomplete—not due to lack of love, but because of the law of the land.
